Why exclude specific files?

By default, any copy program will copy everything (all the files) from the folder that you specify as the source. But, at times, we would like to filter and include only specific files. For Ex: Copy only pictures and not videos, only source code files and not object files, all documents except PDF files and so on.

This post will tell you how you can search for text within a sticky note in Windows using Notezilla, a sticky notes app for Windows & Phones (Android, iOS, iPhone, iPad, Windows Phone etc).

Sticky notes in Notezilla are not designed only for writing short notes. You can even use them as an alternative to Notepad. Notezilla allows you to work on sticky notes that are as wide as your display monitor. This way you can use sticky notes to also store large content such as reference material, web snippets, scripts, drafts etc. You don’t have to worry about saving your collected data to separate files.

While you store large content into the notes, you may find it difficult to manually search for a particular word or keyword in the long note. Say, you want to replace or remove a particular word but can’t find it.

This is where Notezilla will help you. You just have to press the “Ctrl+F” key from within a sticky note. A search box will automatically open wherein you can type the text you are looking for. The search results will be highlighted in the note. You can even right click inside a sticky note and select the “Find” option to do the same.
The results will be filtered as and when you keep typing.

If the word you are looking for is repeated several times in the note, just click on the right facing arrow and the next place where it appears is highlighted.

Notezilla thus saves a lot of your time and efforts on searching for text.

But do you take advantage of incremental backups when backing up your files?

The Incremental Backup concept

An incremental backup is a type of backup that only copies files that have changed since the previous backup.

For example, if a full backup was performed today, the next incremental backup will only take all changed files since today’s backup. This is really helpful to reduce your time spent on taking backups and avoiding repetition of files with the same content.

In this post, we will show you how to do incremental backup using Copywhiz.

The benefits of copying only new files

We often spend a lot of our precious time in copying the same set of files everyday or every fewer days in order to take backups. It would be very convenient if we could copy only those files that have been newly added or recently modified after a particular day or date.

Let us look at how this is possible using Robocopy and an alternative software Copywhiz, which does the same thing in a much user friendly manner.

Steps to copy newer files based on date

Using Robocopy

The Robocopy command Robocopy Source [Destination] /maxage:n (where n can be number of days or date of format YYYYMMDD) copies all source files that are newer than the date specified.

For Ex: To copy all the files in the directory ‘E:\data’ that have been added or modified on or after 1st JAN 2018 to the folder ‘E:\backup’, the following command line will be used:

Robocopy / E:\data E:\backup/MAXAGE:20180101

However, these commands are quite confusing and may not be easy to understand for most users. It is easy to achieve this using Copywhiz which is really straightforward and faster.

Conclusion

This feature is very useful while sharing/uploading only recently modified files, taking backups of just new and modified files especially when there are several files to copy. Thus, Copywhiz proves to be a total saver.

This post will show you how to copy files only of the size (small or large) you want, allowing you to exclude files not needed.

Why filter files based on size?

We would sometimes not want files that are too large or sometimes we may require only large files to be copied. Whatever may be the case, the basic idea is to select the files to be copied only based on their sizes.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could actually do that without much time and efforts? Instead of copying all the files and later deleting the ones not required, you can just skip copying files not required altogether.

Let us look at how this is possible with Windows Robocopy tool and an alternative software Copywhiz.

What is Copywhiz?

Enhance your file-copy experience with Copywhiz as it lets you have more flexibility & more control over the file-copying process. Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:

• Copy files to multiple folders/computers
• Copy files from multiple folders and paste them at once
• Pick files from multiple folders and compress in single .zip file
• Schedule file backups
• Several more hidden nuggets designed to make your file-copy task easier.

Steps to copy files based on size

Using Robocopy

The Robocopy command Robocopy source [destination] /max:n lets you set the maximum limit on a file size. Which means files larger than the mentioned size would not be copied.

Similarly the command Robocopy source [destination] /min:n lets you set the minimum file size limit so that files smaller than the mentioned size would not be copied.

For ex: to exclude files larger than 10 KB when copying files from “projects” folder to “backup” folder , you will apply the following command :

Robocopy d:\temp\projects e:\backup /xf max:10kb

Similarly for ex: to exclude files smaller than 10 KB when copying files from “projects” folder to “backup” folder , you will apply the Command :

Robocopy d:\temp\projects e:\backup /xf min:10kb

However, these Robocopy commands are quite difficult to understand and use by common users. Only system administrators find it easy.

Let me show you a much easier and straightforward method.

Conclusion

As you have seen above, When copying files using Copywhiz, you can exclude or include specific types of files/folders. You gain more control over what is being copied. With few clicks, you complete big file copy tasks & save manual effort.

You can avoid files that are not required like those files that occupy too much space and only pick files that are important.

One thing about Windows file copy is that it will continuously need your attention if there are duplicate files, if a file is in use or if there is any other error.

When you are seriously working on an important task (while a background file copy is going on) and suddenly if an error popup box appears, the whole flow of work gets disturbed. We have to stop working and attend to these messages. This is why you would wish to just stop those messages from popping up or let the error get resolved silently without disturbing your work.

Here I will show how you can use Copywhiz to suppress all the message prompts, error boxes and continue with file copy. Later you can verify the error log to check if there are any errors. This is very useful when taking backups and when you wish to copy files silently.

Steps to silently copy files in Windows

The most common message you get is that a file already exists with the same name. Copywhiz can replace duplicate files automatically once pre-configured. Also it will show you a list of errors (if any) after the file copy operation is complete.

Watch a short video describing this feature:

Go to Windows File Explorer, select the files from the source folder, right-click and choose Copywhiz–>Copy as shown below:

Go to the destination folder, right click and choose Copywhiz–> Paste Advanced. The advanced settings dialogue box will open.

Select the “General” tab and enable the option “Run silently”. This ensures that you are not asked any questions when copying files. Duplicate files will be replaced automatically by default and all the errors are logged to separate file.

This post will explain how to copy files from different folders in different places, into a single folder or destination.

Why a single folder?

Many times we have all our music and pictures scattered in different folders that we may want to store into a single folder. You might want to pick only specific types of files and copy all of them in one folder. Say your favorite songs and personal pictures.

But you always have to follow the monotonous process of copy, paste, copy, paste and repeat it several times which is really time consuming.

Steps to quickly copy files from multiple folders into single folder

2. Keep adding files from different folders by selecting them, right clicking and choosing “Copy (Add to queue)” from Copywhiz menu. You can see the total number of files copied until now in the “Show items” menu.

3. Right-click inside the destination folder and select Copywhiz–>Paste . You can even use Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut keys.
